The thrust is laid on an in-depth understanding involving holistic approach ofAnthropology using theoretical and practical techniques. Masters in Anthropology aims to developprofessional competence in the light of perceivable need for trained anthropologists in academicand research institutes, NGOs, government organisations and applied sciences. It would also equipthe learners to employ anthropological insights to understand and relate contemporary bio-socialshifts.

Course Preparation

Learning material is specially prepared by team of experts drawn from different universities andinstitutions in the area throughout the country as well as by the in-house faculty. The outline of acourse is finalised by the Expert Committee while the print material is written by course writers.Before final printing, the materials undergo several rounds of scrutiny by course coordinators andeditors.

Programme Delivery

The methodology of instruction in IGNOU is different from that of conventional universities. TheOpen University system is more learner-oriented and the learner is an active participant in theteaching and learning process. Most of the instructions are imparted through distance educationmethodology and face-to-face mode as per requirement. The University follows a multi-mediaapproach for instruction comprising self-instructional print material, audio-visual material, counselingsessions, teleconferences and assignments.

4. SCHEME OF STUDY

The university reserves the right to change the rules from time to time. However, latest rules willbe applicable to all the students irrespective of year of registration. The Programme is offeredtwice a year, in January and July.

Dispatch of Study Material

For Masters in Anthropology Programme all the study material will be dispatched in one installment.The dispatch of the study material will be made within 4 weeks of the last date of admission. Alongwith the study material you will also receive Programme Guide and Assignments. If any thing ismissing please ask for it. If you do not get material in time or receive defective material write tothe ‘Regional Director’ of your Regional Centre.

Decide Your Time Schedule

The University offers flexibility and openness in the courses and duration for the completion ofprogrammes. You should take full advantage of this flexibility. As indicated earlier you can finishthis programme in two years if you clear 64 credits. If you are not able to complete it within thisperiod you can take a maximum of four years to complete it. It would be better if you plan it ina systematic way. For two years you will receive study materials and assignments according toscheme of study but it is up to you to decide which courses you will complete in a particular year.Completion of a course would involve studying the course, completing the assignments and appearingin TEE.

You will have to devote approximately 240 hours of study to complete a eight-credit course. Forthe four courses of 8 credits each in the first year you need to put in about 960 study hours. Youhave to adjust your reading schedule keeping this workload in view. For example, if you could

9

study for 300 days in a year, you need to put in on an average of little more than 3 hours perday. It is helpful to study consistently throughout the year rather than two or three months beforethe examinations.

If you are busy elsewhere and not able to fully devote yourself to the programme you should fixyour targets every year. If you feel that instead of 32 credits you would do only 24 or 16 credits,plan it from the beginning of the year, study only those courses do the assignments for the sameand appear for TEE. Carry over the rest to next year. Again next year, decide your goals for thatyear. Whenever you decide to do the previous year’s course ask for fresh assignments in thebeginning of the year, submit them according to the schedule and appear in the TEE. Through aproper planning you can finish this programme according to your convenience.

6. INSTRUCTIONAL SYSTEM

The methodology of instruction in this University is different from that in the conventional universities.The Open University System is more learner-oriented in which the student is an active participantin the teaching-learning process. Most of the instruction is imparted through distance rather thanface-to-face communication.

The University follows a multi-media approach for instruction. It comprises,

self-instructional print material

audio and video cassettes

audio-video programmes transmitted through Television and Radio

teleconferencing session

face-to-face counselling at Study Centres by Academic Counsellors

assignments

6.1 Print MaterialPrint material is the primary form of instructions. You should concentrate mainly on the printedmaterials that we send you periodically. The printed material would be sufficient to write assignmentresponses and prepare for the TEE.

How to use Print Material

The print material prepared by the University is self-instructional in nature. Each course has beendivided into a number of Blocks, generally 7-8 Blocks for an 8 credit course. Each Block consistsof a number of Units. Normally, all the Units covered in one Block have a thematic unity. The firstpage of each Block indicates the contents of each Block, i.e., the number and titles of the Unitscovered in that Block. This is followed by a brief introduction to the Block. The Block introductionexplains the coverage of the Block as a whole as well as the coverage of each Unit in that Block.All the blocks of every course have a blcok introduction, which would give you an idea about themain thrust and contents of that block.

11

Each Unit is structured in a way that facilitates self-study for you. Each Unit begins with Learningobjectives which will provide you an idea on what you are expected to learn from the Unit. TheIntroduction provides an overview of the major theme of the unit. An attempt is made to forgea link with the topics of the previous Units and the topic to be covered in the present Unit. Thisis followed by the main text, which is divided, into various sections and sub-sections.

The section Summary gives a brief account of what has been discussed in the whole Unit. Thissummary enables you to recall the main points covered in the Unit. To facilitate comprehension,important words/terms covered in some of the Unit are explained in the section Glossary. Somebooks for additional reading are suggested in the section Suggested Reading. Some of thesebooks would be available in the Study Centre. The Sample Questions given in the end of asection are intended to give you an idea about the nature of questions that may be asked in theTEE. Questions in Sample Questions are for your practice only, and you should notsubmit answers to these questions to the University for assessment.

Read the Units carefully and note down the important points. You can use the space in the marginof the printed pages for making notes and writing your comments. While reading the Units you maymark the difficult words and look for the meaning of such words in the dictionary. If you still donot understand something, consult your counsellor during the face-to-face sessions at the StudyCentre for clarification.

6.2 CounsellingIn distance education, face-to-face contact between the learners and their tutors/counsellors is animportant activity. The purpose of such an interaction is to answer some of your questions andclarify your doubts, which may not be possible through any other means of communication. It isalso intended to provide you an opportunity to meet fellow students. There are experiencedacademic counsellors at the Study Centres to provide counselling and guidance to you in thecourses that you have chosen for study. The counselling sessions for each of the courses will beheld at suitable intervals throughout the academic session. Attendance in the counselling sessionsis not compulsory. However, they may be useful in certain respects such as: to share your viewson the subject with teachers and fellow students, comprehend some of the complex ideas ordifficult issues, and get clarifications for many doubts which you would not otherwise try to raise.

Face-to-face counselling will be provided at the Study Centre assigned to you. You should notethat the counselling sessions will be very different from the usual classroom teaching or lectures.Counsellors will not be delivering lectures or speeches. They will try to help you to overcomedifficulties, which you face while studying for this programme. In these sessions you must look intothe subject-based difficulties and any other issues arising out of such difficulties. Besides, some ofthe audio and videocassettes that are available at that time will be played in the counsellingsessions. For a 8-credit course there will be counselling of 24 hours duration. In case there areless than 10 students in a Study Centre, then intensive counseling sessions will be held whichessentially means that 40 per cent of the prescribed counseling sessions are to be conducted withina week’s time.

Before you go to attend the counselling sessions, please go through your course materialand note down the points to be discussed. Unless you have gone through the Units, there may

12

not be much to discuss. Try to concentrate on relevant and important issues. Try also to understandeach other’s points of view. You may also establish personal contact with your fellow participantsto get mutual help for academic purposes. Try to get the maximum possible help from yourcounsellors.

6.3 Study CentreTo provide effective student support, we have set up a number of Study Centres all over thecountry. You will be allotted one of these Study Centres taking into consideration your place ofresidence or work. However, each Study Centre can handle only a limited number of students anddespite our best efforts, it may not always be possible to allot the Study Centre of your choice.The particulars regarding the Study Centre to which you are assigned will be communicated toyou.

Depending upon low enrolment in a Study Centre, or due to other operational reasons, theUniversity may de-activate a Study Centre and the students of the de-activated Study Centre willbe attached to another Centre. The concerned Regional Centre will inform the concerned studentsabout the change after admissions are finalized.

A Study Centre will have six major functions:

1) Counselling: Face-to-face counselling for the courses will be provided at the Study Centres.The detailed programme of the counselling sessions will be sent to you by the Coordinatorof your Study Centre.

2) Evaluation of Assignments: Tutor marked assignments (TMAs) will be evaluated by theAcademic Counsellors appointed for different courses at the Study Centre. These assignmentswill be returned to you with tutor comments and marks obtained. These comments will helpyou in your studies.

3) Library: For each course some of the books suggested under ‘Suggested Reading’ will beavailable in the Study Centre Library.

4) Information and Advice: At the Study Centre you get relevant information regarding thecourses offered by the University, counselling schedules, examination schedule, etc. You willalso get guidance in choosing your optional courses.

5) Audio-Video Facilities: The Centres are equipped with audio-video facilities to help youmake use of the audio and videocassettes prepared for different courses. Media notes ofthese audio-video programmes will also be available at the Study Centre. This will help youto know the contents of each programme.

6) Interaction with Fellow-Students: In the Study Centre you get an opportunity to interactwith fellow students.

Please bring all your Units and your folder of corrected assignments with you when you come tothe counselling session.

7. EVALUATION

The evaluation consists of two parts in theory courses: i) continuous evaluation through assignments,and ii) Term End Examination (TEE). In the final result, all the assignments of a course carry 30per cent weightage while 70 per cent weightage is given for TEE. For the course MANI-001: thecomponent on Project Report, which requires submission of a project report, there is nocontinuous evaluation and TEE. Evaluation of this component is on the basis of projectreport submitted. For the course MANP-001: Field work and dissertation, in the secondyear which requires submission of a dissertation, there is no continuous evaluation and TEE.Evaluation for MANP-001 is on the basis of dissertation and viva-voce examination on theproject report submitted.

Evaluation in Masters in Anthropology will be done under numerical marking scheme. The followingis the scheme of awarding divisions:

I Division - 60 per cent and aboveII Division - 50 per cent to 59.9 per centPass - 40 per cent to 49.9 per centUnsuccessful - Below 40 per cent

In order to complete a course successfully you are required to score at least 40 per cent marksin continuous evaluation (assignments) and at least 40 per cent in TEE. Overall score in a courseis the total of the scores in assignment and TEE. The division with which you pass the Mastersin Anthropology programme is decided on the basis of combined percentage of marks obtainedin all the courses.

Students can take TEE for first year courses after completion of study of one year for theconcerned courses. For example, students enrolled in July 2011 can take their TEE for first yearcourses in June 2012 or thereafter. Similarly, TEE for second year courses can be taken only aftercompletion of one year of study in the second year. In case a student fails to qualify in a courses/he is allowed to take that course in any of the subsequent TEEs. Students have to successfullycomplete all the courses within 5 years of registration.

7.1 AssignmentsThe assignments can be obtained from our website www.ignou.ac.in. Assignments constitute thecontinuous evaluation. Submission of assignments is compulsory. The marks that you get in yourassignments will be counted in your final result. As assignments carry 30 per cent weightage in yourfinal score in the course you are advised to take your assignments seriously. A simple omission onyour part may cause loss to you and inconvenience at all levels in the University.

The main purpose of assignments is to test your comprehension of the learning materials youreceive from us and also to help you get through the courses. The evaluators / counsellors will sendback the evaluated assignments with their comments. Do not forget to get back your evaluatedTMAs along with a copy of the assessment sheet containing comments of the evaluator on yourperformance. The comments will surely guide you in your study and help in improving yourcomprehension.

14

The print materials should be sufficient for answering the assignments. At postgraduate level it isexpected that you will consult other prescribed books also. You need not however worry too muchabout the non-availability of extra reading materials for working on the assignments. The assignmentsare designed in such a way as to help you concentrate mainly on the printed course materials andto improve your analytical capabilities.

There is one TMA for each course. You have to submit the completed assignments before thedeadline specified in the assignments booklet to the Coordinator of your Study Centre. You willnot be allowed to appear for the TEE for a course if you do not submit the specified number ofassignments in time for that course. If you appear in TEE without submitting the assignments, theresult of TEE would be liable to be cancelled.

The University/Coordinator of the Study Centre has the right not to entertain or reject the assignmentssubmitted after the due date. You are, therefore, advised to submit the assignments before the duedate.

For your own record, retain a copy of all the assignment responses which you submit to theCoordinator. Also maintain an account of the evaluated assignment responses. This will help youto represent your case to the University in case any problem arises.

If you do not get pass grade (40 per cent) in the assignment of any course, you have to submita fresh assignment (meant for the next academic session) for that course. You cannot re-submitthe answers to the old assignment. To get fresh assignments you may download theassignments from IGNOU website www.ignou.ac.in. Once you get the pass grade in anassignment, you cannot re-submit it for improvement of grade. Assignments are not subject to re-evaluation except for factual errors, if any, committed by the evaluator. The discrepancy noticedby you in the evaluated assignments should be brought to the notice of the Coordinator of theStudy Centre, so that the correct score is forwarded by him/her to the Student Evaluation Division(SED) at Headquarters. Score communicated by the Study Centre through any mode other thanthe award list will not be acceptable to the University for maintenance of student records.

MAN-002: Archaeological Anthropology 8 Credits

Archaeological anthropology deals with the origin and development of human species and itsmaterial manifestations in the form of material culture. In the process of human evolution, both the

29

biological and cultural aspects evolved complimenting to one another over a long span of time.Archaeological anthropology investigates such fossils and artifacts through scientific explorationsand unearths by means of systematic excavations. The retrieved data is documented, analyzed ina systemic way to reconstruct the different stages of bio-cultural evolution of human species. Theunwritten record embraces the time period of human species as a tool user to the builder of earlycitadels, which denotes a savagic hunter-gatherer to a food producing civilized being. The courseon Archaeological Anthropology attempts to reconstruct the cultural forms of the past and to tracetheir growth and development in time. Archaeological anthropology reconstructs the culture in thepast by excavating and studying the material remains of former human societies. It is the studyof past societies and cultures through the material remains that have been left behind by ancienthumans. The material remains constitute bones, teeth, stone, and bone artifacts, weapons, pottery,terracotta objects, grains and other plant remains etc.

Compulsory Courses

MANP-001: Field Work and Dissertation 8 Credits

This is a compulsory course for the second year. Anthropology is a field science and this courseexplores the stages of a fieldwork and writing dissertation, starting with the initial planning andending with the analysis and presentation of the findings. Before going to the field, the prospectivelearner must select a research topic relevant to anthropology and prepare for the fieldwork.Selecting a topic for a research project is first basic step. The topic should be important andfeasible. Anthropologists often find a topic to research by carrying out a literature review, orreading what others have already written about the subject to learn whether a gap in previousresearch exists. Before the commencement of field work learner has to go through the literatureon the chosen topic and utilise this information for the preparation of checklist and questionnaireand in the interpretation of their findings in report writing. In this they would deploy all theknowledge of tools and techniques, collection of data, interpretation of data and writing data inthe form of dissertation they have gathered from the course Anthropology and Methods of Research.After finalizing the research topic learners have to conduct an intensive fieldwork in an area of theirchoice depending upon the feasibility of the topic. The process of fieldwork, data collection andwriting the dissertation would be complete by utilising 240 hours. The stepwise procedure offieldwork and writing dissertation would be available in the manual which will be provided to thelearners.

MANI-003: Practicing Anthropology 8 Credits

Practicing anthropology is the utilisation of ideas, values, theories, skills etc. for practical purposesin real life. This involves the use of anthropological perspectives in government, policy making,

MANE-001: Human Genetics 8 Credits

Human genetics is one of the important areas of physical anthropology. Human genetics on onehand concerns the study of the patterns of inheritance of various body traits and on the other, aproper assessment of the distribution of such traits and their gene frequencies. It is of utmostrelevance for evaluating the process of ongoing human differentiation. This course would enablethe learner interested in the study of evolutionary phenomenon to evaluate the inflow and outflowof genes that have evolutionary implications. These studies are included in the field of humanpopulation genetics. Serology (study of blood group polymorphisms) further facilitates the learnerto understand blood group variation among and within populations. Human Molecular Geneticsand advances in Human Genetics, the latest trend in genetics are also included. Human genomeis another important area of human genetics.
